Flawless Floors

Choosing what kind of floor you want seems like it would be easy, right? Sure it does, at least until you start looking into your options. When faced with multitude of floor types, finishes, and colors it can all start to be a bit intimidating. There are so many great looking ones to choose from but which one is best for your needs?

Do you want carpet but you are afraid it will get ruined too quickly? If yes, consider choosing a carpet that is stain resistant. Many carpets lines now have permanent spill-resistant shields that  make cleaning them a walk in the park. Nanoparticles hold fibers together and move with the carpet to prevent spills from ever being able to settle. These particles also allow dirt to release more easily so you never have to spend your day off cleaning the carpet again!

Do you want to your house to look like it was taken straight out of a Pinterest photo? Try tile! Many manufacturers make tile that you can use not only for your floor but for your countertops, backslashes, and even walls. You can create your very own Pinterest worthy home. 

Next, we have wood floors. I personally love wood floors, but sometimes they have a tendency to all look the same, I must not have been the only person feeling that way because a lot of major brands are now offering new finishes. These new finishes bring a new aspect to the table  by giving you some room to be creative. I love the new, more raw finishes that give any house a tropical, exotic hardwood look.

Add Value to Your Home

When doing any kind of remodeling to your home, anything that makes your house more functional also adds to the value. When remodeling purely with the goal of adding value the best things you can do are to add new interior spaces such as an extra room or bathroom, remodel the kitchen, or add a patio or deck. All expansions and additions add value not only due to the addition of square footage but also by adding more desirable factors to your home. An adequate number of bathrooms can go a long way when selling your home. Adding built-in cabinets and storage is unique way to offer potential buyers something the don't see everyday while also adding a new level of organization to your current living. So when remodeling, always think in terms of functionality!

Let's create a backyard born for lounging!

If you live in Hawaii then I have no doubt that you are well aware just how hot our sunny days can be.  Homeowners on our beautiful island are rarely lucky enough to find a property that comes complete with a covered deck or sun room. So if you want to spend the afternoon on your porch but you don't want to blister in the hot sun, what can you do? Well, it turns out that are many very simple shade structures that can be built quickly and don't cost an arm and a leg. I personally love to sink into a lounger and enjoy a book or even a nap but that's only possible when you can find some shade! These efficient shade structures have brought ease to outdoor relaxation. When designing such a shade structure, you must first decide how much shade you desire. Would you like to block out the sun as much as possible or place the beams further apart to let in more light? When spacing the beams too far apart you may run the risk of damage if there is heavy snowfall, luckily that's one thing we never have to worry about here!  Beyond just practical issues, you as the homeowner also get to decide what you want your new deck to look like! You can choose the stain of wood and embellish it anyway you choose. There is no need to hide from your backyard anymore! Call us today to talk about opportunities for your porch!

Happy Memorial Day!

The staff of All Build Construction would like to take a moment say Happy Memorial Day! Thank you for all who have served and continue to serve our country!

Multi-tasking Bathroom?

With every year, more like every minute, we use technology to find ways to be more efficient and also integrate fun and pleasure into everyday tasks. Believe it or not this now even applies to your own bathroom! Home renovations are making leaps and bounds in fun gadgets for every room of the house. What we never would have even thought to ask for will soon be something we can't remember ever living without.  Kohler, for instance, has just expanded it's popular Moxie shower head line to include shower heads that come equipped with Bluetooth capabilities so you never have to worry about getting your device while trying to listen to your favorite songs in the bathtub. Broan Nu-Tone is now also offering Bluetooth capabilities with it's new bathroom vents. Medicine cabinets are making the crossover from strictly storage to a media hub with the additions of not just Bluetooth, but also televisions, safes, and charging stations. Don't have a medicine cabinet? That's okay, most of the features can be applied to a simple wall mirror. With all of these new and amazing features I imagine people will be fighting over the bathroom even more now!
